Every year, indoor activities undergo a renewal driven by fitness enthusiasts’ desire to try increasingly dynamic classes. Gyms and trainers offer a rich and varied lineup of disciplines, combining various types and formats of workouts with different technical movements.
The result is a thriving growth in the number of indoor fitness enthusiasts, who find these new offerings an excellent way to stay in shape and have fun during the winter season.

What better time to check out the 2018 fitness trends than now, when we’re already thinking about getting back in shape after all the overindulgence of the past few days!?! Let’s take a look at the trends for 2018:

• Insany-T: fitness & workout program . INSANY-T® combines elements of traditional aerobics—as conceived by Dr. Kenneth Cooper—with functional training and interval training. INSANY-T® was first introduced by multiple Cuban aerobics champion Reidel Duran Leon, who created a non-repetitive, choreographed aerobic workout. The cardio exercises are vigorous and high-intensity, combined with movements designed to strengthen and condition the muscles.

• Boot Camp Training: Indoor training moves outdoors, even in winter. Boot Camp training is designed for the most tenacious and daring, as it has direct military roots. This training system originated in the United States and was inspired by U.S. Marine Corps training. Motivation is one of the fundamental elements of this discipline; in fact, training takes place in all weather conditions, and trainers push participants to complete every exercise without cutting corners. Sessions include stretching exercises, running/walking, military drills, obstacle courses, weight training, and jumps and leaps.

• Dynamic Yoga: With its powerful stress-relieving and relaxing benefits, it is a less static, more fluid and functional form of yoga that is accessible to everyone. The practice of Dynamic Yoga is ideal not only for those who already teach yoga, but also for those approaching this discipline for the first time. Dynamic practice has the advantage of gradually preparing the body, making it flexible and supple, while also improving cardiovascular fitness.

• Animal Movements: animals crawl and slither, walk and run, jump high and jump far, do somersaults, roll sideways, swing their arms, contort their bodies, and much more. Most of us don’t marvel at or even think about this art of movement from which this new form of training was created. Animal movements are part of the concept of functional training and therefore follow a holistic approach. This means it’s not about building isolated strength that’s useless in everyday life, but rather incorporating a wide range of skills. In addition to strength and stability, this also includes mobility and flexibility, coordination, endurance, and speed. Training like animals also means that no two training sessions are ever the same; by using bodyweight exercises, you develop a wide range of skills. All movements are natural and functional. This means they are useful in our daily lives and maximize the potential of our movement abilities.

• Water kickboxing: also known as “Boxino Splash,” it’s one of the hottest trends in fitness right now. An excellent solution for weight loss, it’s an aquatic fitness program that can be considered a “combat workout.” The format includes Kicking and punching exercises in the water to strike the SparringBall—that is, the punching ball used for boxing training, redesigned and adapted for fitness exercises.

• Calisthenics: originating from artistic gymnastics, it combines gymnastic exercises with outdoor bodybuilding, where one’s own body weight serves as the load to be lifted. The word “calisthenics” derives from the Greek words kallos (beauty) and sthenos (strength). Indeed, there is a timeless beauty in training for strength and flexibility by pushing and lifting one’s own body with little or no equipment.
